Charles St. Pierre of Northwest Speycasting in Tacoma, WA, wrestles a king salmon on the Kanektok River in Alaska. Here is how Charles sums up his use of Simms gear: "Spring and Summer weather in Alaska requires you to be ready for anything; wind, rain, cool or warm temperatures. Simms Windstopper, 3XDRY, and Wader technology is the industry standard and is a must for anglers throughout the season."
